The effect of vertical sleeve gastrectomy on food choice in rats.

ABSTRACT: Diets high in fat are implicated in the development and maintenance of obesity, and obese individuals display greater preferences for high-fat foods than do their lean counterparts. Weight-reduction bariatric surgery is associated with changes in food choice. In particular, after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), humans and rodents select or prefer foods that are lower in fat content. We asked whether a bariatric surgical procedure limited to the stomach, vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), causes a similar reduction of fat intake/preference.Rats received VSG or Sham surgery or remained surgically naïve, and were assessed for food preference using three diet-choice paradigms. Using progressive-ratio (PR) and conditioned taste aversion paradigms, we further asked whether surgically induced changes in food choice are secondary to changes in the reward value of food and/or to the formation of a food aversion. Finally, food choice was compared between VSG- and RYGB-operated rats.VSG rats decreased their intake of dietary fat, and shifted their preference toward lower caloric-density foods. This change in food choice was not associated with changes in motivated responding on a PR schedule for either a fat or a carbohydrate food reinforcer. When VSG and RYGB were compared directly, both procedures caused comparable changes in food choice. The conditioned taste aversion paradigm revealed that VSG rats form an aversion to an intra-gastric oil administration whereas RYGB rats do not.VSG and RYGB, two anatomically distinct bariatric procedures, produce similar changes in food choice.

Project description:Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for obesity and its comorbidities. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind its beneficial effects is limited. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) comprise an important mode of intercellular communication. They carry nucleic acids, hormones, and signaling molecules and regulate multiple processes. Our aim was to test the role of EVs in the effects of vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) using a mouse model. Small intestinal EVs were obtained from the mice that underwent VSG or control surgery and were on chow or high-fat diet or diet-restricted, and then they were subjected to the proteomic analysis. Enteroid and bacterial cultures were treated with EVs to evaluate their survival effect. A mouse cohort received intraduodenal administration of EVs from VSG or Sham mice for 10 days. Body weight, glucose metabolism, and intestinal morphology were evaluated. EVs were enriched in the intestinal lumen and mucus of VSG compared with Sham mice. Protein composition of VSG and Sham-derived EVs was highly distinct. When introduced into culture, VSG EVs decreased survival of intestinal enteroids and, conversely, promoted proliferation of bacteria. Mice administered with EVs obtained from VSG and Sham groups did not show differences in body weight, food intake, or glucose metabolism. Intestinal morphology was altered, as VSG EVs caused reduction of ileal villi length and decreased epithelial proliferation in the jejunum and ileum. VSG causes remodeling of intestinal EVs, which results in unique protein composition. VSG-derived EVs exhibit cytotoxic effects on epithelial cells and reduce proliferation of intestinal progenitor cells in mice.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This is the first study that investigates the impact of bariatric surgery on protein composition of intestinal extracellular vesicles. Extracellular vesicle composition is greatly altered after vertical sleeve gastrectomy and may potentially modulate various signaling pathways. In our study, extracellular vesicles from vertical sleeve gastrectomy-treated mice promote bacterial proliferation but exhibit cytotoxic effect on epithelial cells and reduce proliferation of intestinal progenitor cells in mice.
